Jaime thought back on the head he'd given to Pia. He could almost hear his little brother chuckle. Whatever became of giving women flowers? Tyrion might have asked. — Jaime IV
"He will bring a rose for you," her father promised her, but a rose was no good, a rose could not keep her safe. It was a sword she wanted. Oathkeeper. — Brienne VIII
Playing 3DS games after having seen the overall fandom response to release and long-term impact and the way it's looked back on and such is... bizarre, honestly? Like, maybe it's just because we got our introduction to gaming in the 3DS era, but it's incredibly strange to know that games we knew and loved and would have considered relatively mainstream just... didn't stick in people's minds.
Like, take the Gen 6 Pokemon games. Those were great games! One of the single things about X/Y/OR/AS that we don't see people talking about but that stuck in our mind was how the developers made an effort to make it so that every single Pokemon in the games prior was spread between just those four games! We remember that just the sheer variety of potential Pokemon available was enough to get us a start into challenge runs simply by virtue of how much variety could be added to a playthrough by the sheer amount of potential on offer!
We remember spending hours just... hunting around the region to figure out where those last Pokemon we needed to fill the 'dex were, wandering around to try and find Hidden Ability pokemon from Horde battles, getting to actually interact with our Pokemon in Pokemon Amie.
Yeah, there were more obscure games out there, and yeah, they impacted us as well - Pocket Card Jockey stands out in this regard, as an extremely fun game that we're pretty sure was played by maybe three people, maximum, but it's not quite the same. These were games that we played ourself! These were games we saw other people playing, that we played with people over the internet, that felt like they were well-known! We were under the impression that these were mainstream interests, not Niche! it feels... singularly bizarre to realize that, for the majority of people out there, this game was a forgettable disappointment.
Is there an order you're supposed to read the Geronimo Stilton books in???? If so which one's the first???
Well, yes there is an order to the books, but you can read them in any order you want! If you wanna read them in chronological order tho then uuuuhhhhhhh depends on the language you read them in because publishing orders differ depending on the language.
Since you said you’re gonna read them in Italian, uhhhhhhhhhhh I’m not entirely sure because I don’t read the books in Italian (unfortunately) and the Geronimo Stilton official website doesn’t have their Library of Alexandria of a catalogue of the Italian main books for some reason (if I’m reading stuff correctly) :/
Soooo ye just grab whatever’s at the thrift store and read away HAHAHAHAH the rest of the fandom I believe can give you book recs if they feel so inclined
Welcome to the Stilton fandom, my friend, hope you enjoy the madness brainrot :3
I promised myself I will never watch another gundam series after blooded orphans but here I am…I really wished that one ended in the first season but noooooo that too happy for a gundam series DX rant/spoiler in tag
for as pretty and high quality as the new monster high series is, it is a shame that the animation clearly being more expensive leaves the school as a whole looking kind of empty. like the webisodes cost 3 dollars to produce, but because of that they could at least pump out a bunch of generic monster designs to put in the halls. so far in the new series it feels like only the main characters attend monster high, you never seem to see a crowded cafeteria or a bunch of monsters walking between classes, which does make the school feel more lifeless :(
[ Image ID: The drawing is broken into four different forest scenes with a golden sky at the top of the canvas. At the top, leaning on the tree line is The Angle of Justice. The Angle of Justice has tan skin, with the edges of her arms and the top of her head fading into black and white smoke. She has black and white wings with eyes on the feathers, she also has two wings above her eyes. She is resting her head on her arm and smiling while looking down. Behind her in the sky “Can I tell you a secret?” Is written in white.
The first quadrant shows the forest in springtime. The forest is green with a river in the foreground and trees in the background; Flowers are blooming across the grass. The Changeling, in the form of a black bear, is running past with The Maiden riding on his back. The Maiden has medium brown skin, black eyes, and short brown hair in a bob. She is wearing a white dress and a flower crown. She is laughing.
The second quadrant shows the same forest now in summer, with long grass and a yellow sky. The Maiden lays near the river, a green sheet covering her back. Her hair is wet and she has a few flowers behind her ear. She is grinning with her hand partially covering her mouth. The Changeling floats on the river in the form of a black duck, yellow flowers also on his back.
The third quadrant is upside down and shows the forest in fall time. The trees are orange, yellow, and red, and leaves litter the ground. The Maiden sleeps while leaning against The Changeling in the form of a black deer. The Maiden is wearing a dark green dress.
The fourth quadrant is also upside down and shows the forest in winter. The trees have lost their leaves, the river has frozen over, and it is snowing. The Maiden wears a gray sweater and brown cloak. Her arm is raised to throw a snowball at The Changeling. The Changeling is a black owl, and he holds a snowball in his claws as he flies above The Maiden.
Where all three quadrants intersect, the roots of a tree entangle The Maiden and The Changeling as they embrace. The Changeling is in a human form with pale skin, wavy black hair, and white eyes. He is wearing a low cut and sleeveless lavender top. The Maiden is wearing a green top with yellow flowers at the neckline. Both of them are smiling and looking at each other. End ID]
I've finally redrafted the mess that was Courting the King, so unless something goes horrifically wrong during my reread tomorrow it's ready for one final intense edit.
Then I can post some other fics, can finish the last couple of thousand words of Deliverance, enjoy some more ask games, and hopefully not get stuck on an almost finished fic for half a year again. Honestly it's been almost done for long enough that I'd really planned to post back in March. So if I come on tumblr tomorrow and it's just incoherent screeching, erm, well—take it as a sign I'm probably writing more self indulgent cat!Dream to cheer myself up.
(Who am I kidding—I'll be writing self indulgent cat!Dream anyway)
Hey, I saw your tags on my Jonadad AU post and wanted to say that I actually broke down and started writing a fic based on that premise so one day it will exist! (but also feel free to write your own if you're so inclined. The more the merrier!)
That's great.
Jojo, in my very short time as a fan, I've found is very creative and I love people's AUs.
Can't wait to see what you do (no pressure though 😊)
Spare Parts has always been the five of them: Harry, Niall, Liam, Louis, and Charlie. Best friends, practically family, for the last six years. All, except, the band’s lead singers – Harry and Charlie.
Harry’s been hopelessly in love and Charlie’s been none the wiser, so he of course drops at the chance of a sneaky enemies with benefits agreement whilst embarking on their second world tour…

Tagged by @somanywords!! Thank you for continually tagging me in things despite the fact that I only ever get around to like, one in ten. They’re fun, I just don’t always have the capacity to sit down and do them.
Anyway. I drastically changed fandoms over the summer so a lot of my blorbos will be unfamiliar but I’ll mix my current fixations in with the oldies.
Adding gifs because why not. Also if I’m showing off my blorbos I’m gonna do it right.
